Reminds me of the dumbing down by putting a +/- on later HP's rather than a CHS.... was searching for a CHS key... renamed!

It's not really dumbing it down, it's writing for an international audience. CHS stands for CHange Sign which only makes sense in English and maybe a couple other languages.

+/-, on the other hand is more recognizable no matter what the language of the user is.
